Are you sure, you want to add Spider-Man 3
to your wish list?

Storyline:
Peter Parker has finally managed to piece together the once-broken parts of his life, maintaining a balance between his relationship with Mary-Jane and his responsibility as Spider-Man. But more challenges arise for our young hero. Peter's old friend Harry Obsourne has set out for revenge against Peter; taking up the mantle of his late father's persona as The New Goblin, and Peter must also capture Uncle Ben's real killer, Flint Marko, who has been transformed into his toughest foe yet, the Sandman. All hope seems lost when suddenly Peter's suit turns jet-black and greatly amplifies his powers. But it also begins to greatly amplify the much darker qualities of Peter's personality that he begins to lose himself to. Peter has to reach deep inside himself to free the compassionate hero he used to be if he is to ever conquer the darkness within and face not only his greatest enemies, but also...himself.

The third in the Spidey series has its moments, but overall, there's something missing. I liked the new villains. Thomas Haden Church brings some genuine emotion to his conflicted Sandman. Topher Grace is as smarmy as can be as a rival photographer who eventually morphs into the truly terrifying Venom. But there are too many storylines here, and the ones that keep getting repeated every Spider-Man installment (especially the relationship between Peter Parker and MJ) are starting to feel a bit tired. If they make another, and given the success of this one, I'm sure they will, it may be time to turn over the reigns to a new filmmaker and cast who'll bring something inspired to the table...just like the current crew did with the first two entries, which were fresh but familiar spins on what's a dependable and always well-received franchise.

worst of the three movies by far.

I was completely disgusted with what the Director did to this movie. This movie, out of all three, had the most potential. Venom, a beloved Spider-man villain, was played down and worthless. The new Green Goblin looked like a bad version of the Silver Surfer. Kirsten Dunst is a horrible Mary Jane. The alien symbiote was a pathetic and hardly explained at all except for a few scenes that felt shoved in just because they needed filler (which is impossible given that the movie is two hours and twenty minutes long. The only good parts came from the performances of the actresses playing Ursula and Gwen Stacey. The scenes where James Franco wasn't portraying the Green Goblin where his best in the series. The Sandman was hardly explained at all but suddenly important enough to become a huge/minor part in the film. All in all this movie had some appealing fight scenes, but other than that it had no substance and is not worth your time. Also, what was up with the Butler? Worst Character EVER.

Wow. what can I say about this movie other than the fact that it is AMAZING! Sandman is awesome, New Goblin is Awesome and Venom is Awesome. The fight scenes are great and it has many laughs as well. This movie is perfect even if you are not a fan of the previous Spidey films.
